What Is an Electromagnetic Weapon?

Electromagnetic wave refers to the rapid propagation of electromagnetic fields in space, and human beings have lived in the ocean of electromagnetic waves since the day of its formation. Electromagnetic wave radiation can cause damage to the human body, especially electronic equipment. This has been scientifically proven. Some countries are using this principle to develop powerful electromagnetic wave weapons.

Electromagnetic wave refers to the rapid propagation of electromagnetic fields in space, and human beings have lived in the ocean of electromagnetic waves since the day of its formation. Electromagnetic wave radiation can cause damage to the human body, especially electronic equipment. This has been scientifically proven.

Electromagnetic waves are usually divided into

By wavelength

Electromagnetic wave weapons usually mainly refer to weapons in the radio frequency range. Because the electromagnetic wave weapon emits electromagnetic waves, it has the unique advantages of fast launch speed (300,000 km / s, and the fastest flight speed of the missile is less than 30,000 km / h), strong all-weather capability, and good penetration. More and more attention is being paid by various countries.

By weapon category

Electromagnetic wave weapons currently under development include microwave beam weapons and

advantage

One of the great advantages of electromagnetic weapons is that their "bullets" are various types of electromagnetic waves whose speed is equal to the speed of light, that is, 300,000 kilometers per second; while the fastest-moving missiles in conventional firearms have a flight speed of less than 30,000 Kilometers. Conventional firearms are classified according to the caliber of the barrel or barrel, while the classification of electromagnetic weapons is based on the frequency and modulation of the electromagnetic waves they emit.

Laser weapons are a type of electromagnetic weapon that have been successfully developed and put into use. Depending on the power, the laser weapon can interfere with the enemy's optical sensors, destroy distant targets, and blind the enemy's eyes ... A laser weapon with a power of up to 1 million watts can launch the enemy's ballistic trajectory from 300 to 800 km Missiles are destroyed.

Disadvantage

Poor navigation capabilities, the design of shipborne accelerators needs to be strengthened, and a large amount of cosmic garbage will be generated. Even if the large shipborne guns are designed as multi-tubes, materials and the constant maintenance of the cannonball rifles must be considered
